Growing up poor (and how it messed with my mind)
Tags: Mindset · Finance · Self Improvement
A beat-up 1970s trailer pulled me back into memories of childhood poverty and a scarcity mindset that still shapes my money choices. I recount church food relief, kerosene lamps and relatives who drilled washers from nickels, and explain how growing up poor messed with my mind and my money mindset.
Rolly's Take
For the individual who navigates the complexities of a frugal past while striving for financial freedom. A reflective journey that unearths the scars of scarcity, intertwining nostalgia with a quest for understanding — where every choice echoes lessons learned in a world often overlooked.
